Bêka & Lemoine are a duo of artists working at the crossroads of visual arts, non fiction cinema and architecture. For the past twenty years they have been experimenting with new narrative and cinematic forms to explore how people experience, perceive, and relate to space from an emotional, social, and cultural standpoint.
With over thirty films made and a large body of work acquired in 2016 by MoMA — Museum of Modern Art, New York for its permanent collection, Bêka & Lemoine are now widely recognized.
In this master class, they will look back at their work and discuss their unique approach to filming architecture.
